More importantly, will it be able to stop? I had a recent issue pulling a bobcat on a crappy rental trailer that blew a tire. It pushed my 3/4 ton 4x4 quad cab Ram completely around before hitting the median. I stopped facing the opposite direction. Fortunately no one was hurt and my truck was still intact. A lot of vehicles will pull a trailer but they need to do more than just pull. They also need to be able to stop and maneuver with all the weight pushing them. I'm not sure about a Dakota. It may not be an issue pulling with it. I am sure there are folks here that know much more than me who can give you advice on that. I would recommend your trailer have really good trailer brakes.
